Major shakeup underway at HHS as White House braces for midterms

“Two top health officials are leaving their jobs amid a shakeup at the Department of Health and Human Services aimed at refocusing HHS on politically popular aspects of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agenda in advance of the midterm elections.

Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill and General Counsel Mike Stuart are exiting a year into Kennedy’s reign, according to a person familiar with the matter. HHS and the White House didn’t respond to requests for comment on Friday. The news was first reported by Politico.

The White House directed the changes to overcome dysfunction at the agency that had been attributed, in part, to poor management, the person said. The new leaders, trusted by top administration officials, are expected to smooth out problems that have added to chaos during a period of historic upheaval.

The departures come as leaders of the MAHA movement make the case to the White House that they will be crucial to winning over key voters in the midterms, leading officials to home in on health policy issues that poll well.”


This is madness.

The country is being run by a deranged Cult, insane rightwing zealots and ideologues.

Poor management, historic upheaval, public health policy dictated by what’s politically expedient, not facts, science, and the truth – this is the corrupt, incompetent Trump regime.
 
What a ******* mishmash of sloppy reporting.

You will search in vain for the specific reasons why Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill and General Counsel Mike Stuart are exiting HHS. The article instead throws up a word blizzard of tropes and politically charged references of dubious relevance.
 
Midterm voting is not until November.

Why are people getting their panties in a knot already????

There's going to be SOOOOOOOOOO much happening between now and November!!!!
 
I imagine, given the culture of very old bureaucracies and stale establishment ideas, this type of thing is probably very necessary. My reading from RFKjr's interview yesterday, though he did not name names, more than likely both Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill and General Counsel Mike Stuart are just resisting this historic and refreshing change in that agency.

IMO, this and the immigration enforcement are just about the only two redeeming aspects left of this administration.

It is just too damn bad this administration isn't giving the intelligence agencies the same treatment.
 
They're all on the agenda. Trump just can't get it all done at the same time.
That is some serious cognitive dissonance you have. Go get that checked out.

Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, they are all frauds doing precisely the opposite of what Trump campaigned and made promises on.


. . . but then, Trump ain't really in charge, is he now?

Is Trump coming out with free healthcare for all? If not, people don't care about that shit when it comes to voting, bub.
